Application filed n ry 3, 1905- Serial No. 239,510-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN KAPP, residing at Bellingham, in the countyof VVhatcom and State of ashington, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Saw-Jointers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in apparatusfor jointing shingle or other circular saws, and primarily has for itsobject to provide a device of this character of a very simple economicalconstruction which will readily and effectively serve its intendedpurposes.

Generically, my invention consists of a base or casting adapted to bebolted to the saw gummer-frame and so arranged as to be laterallyadjustable to allow for its use in con nection with saws of differentdiameters. To this base is pivotally and adjustably secured afile-carrying frame which includes an adjustable file-carrier soarranged that the portion of the file may be altered in variousdirections to allow for the different sizes of saws and to permit theuse of the same devices on saws which are mounted close to or at somedistance from the gummer-frame.

Again, my invention seeks to provide a device of this character whichcan be readily at tached to the ordinary gummers Without the necessityof altering or changing the form thereof.

With other objects in view, which will be .hereinafter apparent, theinvention also con sists in certain novel construction, combination, andarrangement of parts, all of which will be first described in detail andthen specifically pointed out in the appended claims, reference beinghadto the accompanyingdrawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective Viewshowing my invention as applied for use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation ofthe parts shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of my invention.Fig. 4 is a top plan view thereof. Fig. 5 is a front end view thereof;Fig. 6 is a back end view of my invention. Fig. 7 is a horizontalsection on the line 7 7 of Fig. 3. Fig. 8 is a cross-section on the line8 8 of Fig. 5. Fig. 9 is a detail perspective view of the base memberdetached. Fig. 10 is a detail perspective view of the file-carryingframedetached. Fig. 11 is a detail perspective view of the file-carryingclamps which cooperate With the filecarrying frame. Fig. 12 is aperspective view of my invention looking from another position. Fig. 13isv a detail form showing a slightly-modified form of screw members 7 7and 3. v

Referring now to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals andletters of reference indicate like parts in all of the figures, ldesignates the base, which comprises a body portion 1, having alongitudinal slotway 1, through which the securing-bolt 2 passes.Integrally formed with the body portion 1 of the base 1 and at rightangles thereto is a supplemental body portion 1, apertured, as at 1 toreceive the adjusting-screw 3, hereinafter referred to.

4 designates what I term the file-carrier frame, and the said framecomprises a rectangular plate 4:, having a pair of horizontal lugs 43 4,through which and through lugs 1 1 of the base 1 the pivot-rivets 4 passto pivotally secure the plate 4: to the base 1 to permit the plate 4 tobe swung on a vertical axis to swing in a horizontal plane.

. 4 designates a threaded aperture in the plate 4 to receive thethreaded enc 3 of the adjusting-screw 3, which freely turns in theaperture 1 and is prevented from axial movement with respect to thesupplemental body portion by the collar 3". The screw 3 serves to limitthe swinging movement of the plate 4:.

At the top the plate 4 is formed with a pair of vertical lugs 45 45,between which a winged nut 5*, having a grooved collar 5", is held toturn. To hold the collar 5 in place between the lugs 4 4 I join the saidlugs by a cross piece et which engages with the grooved collar 5, asclearly'shown in Fig. 6. At the bottom and on the front face thereof theplate 4 is formed with a pair of verticallydisposed lugs 4 t aperturedto receive the rivets 6 6, which also pass through cooperating lugs L 4!of a second plate 45 of substantially the same shape as the plate A. Theplates 4 and 48 are pivotally connected to one another by their lugs L 4and the rivets 6, so that the plate 49 may be swung in a vertical planeon a horizontal axis. At the upper end the plate 4 is apertured toreceive the end 5 of the threaded bolt 5, which is pivotally secured tothe plate P by the rivet 5 and the said bolt 5 passes through andcooperates with the winged nut 5 and serving together with the saidwinged nut tolimit the movement of the plate L.

4 P designate horizontally-elongated apertures in the plate 4, throughwhich the securing-screws 7 pass.

8 designates the file-holding clamp, which I viz:

comprises the clamp base-plate 8, against which the file 9 is held bythe side clamps 8, which are secured to the plate 8 by the screws 8" 8,as shown, to allow of vertical adjustment of the file in the clamp. Theplate 8 is apcrtured, as at 8 8, to receive the securing-screws 7 7, bymeans of which the plate 8 is securely held against the plate 4!.

By providing the plate 4" with apertures l" 4:", through which thescrews 7 7 pass, the file-holder can be laterally adjusted to allow forvariations in the distance between the saw and the body portion 1 of thebase 1.

So far as described the manner in which my invention operates and isapplied for use will be best understood by reference to Figs. 1 and 2 ofthe drawings, from which it will be seen that the saw S is mountedon'the glimmer-frame G in the usual manner, the glimmer (1? comprisingthe two legs /g, which are provided with longitudinally-adjustable slotsfr "1 21s shown. My invention is mounted directly on the gummer-frameGr, the bolt 2 passing through the body portion 1 and the leg y of theglimmer-frame. By providing the slot 1 the device can be easily adjustedto provide for use in connection with saws of various diameters. as willbe clearly understood by reference to the drawings. By simply adjustingthe screws 3 the file can be set at right angles to the faces of the sawand straight across the teeth. (See Fig. 4.) By adjusting the bolt 5 thefile can be held vertically or moved at an angle to the horizontalwhenever it may be found desirable. To provide for using my invention onsaws which are held at a greater or lesser distance from the plate 1, itis only necessary to loosen the screws 7 7, when the file-clamp may bemoved laterally to bring the file into proper alinement with respect tothe saw, the apertures a" i permitting the passage of a suitablescrew-driver to manipulate the screws 7.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, it is thought the complete construction,operation, and many advantages of my invention will be readily apparentto those skilled in the art to which it appertains, and I desire to saythat slight changes in the detailed construction, operation, and designof the various parts may be made without departing from the invention orthe scope of the appended claims.
